Really good Dining Experience

During my recent stay, I had the pleasure of dining at Ambler, the hotel's restaurant and bar. The food exceeded my expectations with a high-quality menu that catered to a variety of tastes. Not to mention, the outdoor patio offered a serene atmosphere where I could enjoy my meal while soaking in the beautiful views. The experience truly enhanced my stay.

Rooftop Pool Delight

I spent an afternoon lounging by the rooftop pool, which was perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The pool was heated, making it comfortable even in warmer weather. I loved the stunning views of the city from the poolside, and it was the ideal spot for a romantic evening with my partner.

Spacious and Stylish Suite

I was very impressed by the suite I stayed in - it was much larger than I anticipated. It included a cozy seating area with a pull-out couch, a dining table for two, and a good king bed. The decor was stylish and contemporary, giving the room a luxurious feel, while the cleanliness added to the overall comfort. It was a welcoming retreat after a busy day!

Comfortable Sleeping Experience

I absolutely loved the bed in my suite! It was one of the most comfortable beds I have experienced in a hotel, allowing me to have restful nights throughout my stay. Each night, I drifted off easily and woke up feeling refreshed, ready to take on the day. The overall room setup contributed to a good stay.

I had a fantastic stay at Hotel Contessa! The staff truly went above and beyond to make our experience special. Our room was comfortable and offered a stunning view of the city. The location was right on the Riverwalk, making it easy to explore the area, though the slightly damp room was a minor drawback. Overall, I would absolutely stay here again!

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While it's in a fantastic location by the Riverwalk and the rooms were nice, the Wi-Fi was horrendous which made planning our outings quite frustrating. The service had its ups and downs, particularly with check-in and some less-than-friendly staff. Overall, it had its perks, but I would likely explore other options next time.
